Tourist Season

Yes, the first cruise ship of the season arrived at Icy Strait Point (ISP) today. It was so nasty out we were just hanging out at home not expecting to get any charters and not trying very hard either. The phone rings, can we take 2 people out whale watching, "hello?!" have you seen the price of gas lately?, make that 4 people and we're all over it. Phone rings 5 minutes later, ok, there could be 4 more people can you take 6? Crap, time to get dressed, looks like a long underwear day. Phone rings, what's your price again? Ok, we're about ready to go. Phone rings, never mind we're back down to 2 people. I'm thinking I really should get online and check the weather since it looks so crappy out from our house. Glad we didn't get a charter, there was a small craft warning out in Icy Strait today.

It was a good day to lay around the house and read and snack. Then we decided we should go take pictures of the tourists. Wow, they even got off the boat and many were walking into town, usually this rotten weather keeps them inside too. Maybe we'll start working on Thursday......Winter is definitely over......
